The Sacred Lotus / 5 Nights Karkidaka Chikilsa Program
Premium Resort
India / Kerala / Kochi

"The Sacred Lotus" was conceived with the purpose of offering an authentic Ayurvedic experience near Kochi, amidst the colonial heritage of Fort Kochi.

The term "Sacred Lotus" often symbolizes Sahsrara, the sixth and ultimate Chakra in Yoga philosophy. This Chakra represents the pinnacle of Kundalini, where the practitioner discovers the exalted Self and achieves oneness with the whole. At The Sacred Lotus, the aim is to inspire individuals through services and therapies, guiding them on the path to rediscovering their healthy Self and understanding its profound relevance to their existence.

Through the nurturing embrace of mud, the resilience of water, the warmth of sunlight, and the wisdom of Ayurveda, The Sacred Lotus blossoms into existence. This endeavor is a collaborative venture between RAVE Hospitality and Aarshaveda Wellness Private Limited.

RAVE Hospitality, spearheaded by enterprising individuals - Ramachandran Malayattil, Rakesh Maliakal, Abdul Rahim, and Parvathy Mohan, brings a wealth of experience in Hospitality, Medical Tourism, and Education, both in India and abroad. Aarshaveda Wellness, a third-generation startup, is dedicated to Ayurvedic and Organic products crafted authentically. They also delve into innovative Ayurvedic solutions that are user-friendly and effective. Their diverse portfolio spans Manufacturing of ayurvedic, organic, and nutraceuticals, Domestic/Export Retail and B2B, Private Labeling, Product Development, and Resort Management Consulting.

Venkatesh Anilkumar, the Managing Director of Aarshaveda, inherits a legacy of Ayurvedic practitioners from both paternal and maternal lineages. His Grandfather, Dr. K G K Panicker, founded the renowned Ayurveda Company - Kerala Ayurveda Pharmacy Limited (KAPL) and played a pivotal role in uniting Kerala's Ayurveda fraternities to establish the Kerala Ayurveda Mandalam in the early 1900s.

Growing up amidst the profound influence of this Ayurvedic heritage, Venkatesh naturally embraced the age-old science and its traditions. He contributed 7 years to Kerala Ayurveda Ltd, overseeing the wellness resort Ayurvedagram and clinics in Bangalore, Chennai, and Hyderabad. In 2015, he embarked on his entrepreneurial journey with the establishment of Aarshaveda Wellness in Aluva, Kerala.

Immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of influences that have woven the past and present of this iconic destination. These curated walks will guide participants to enchanting sites, including the iconic Chinese Nets, the historic St. Francis Church, the solemn Dutch Cemetery, the timeless Old Lighthouse, and the magnificent Santa Cruz Basilica.

Uncover the fascinating stories and legends behind these landmarks, each revealing the unique presence of the Portuguese, Dutch, British, Jewish, and Chinese communities that have left an indelible mark on Fort Kochi. These walks promise an immersive experience, allowing participants to connect with the cultural mosaic that defines this historical haven.

Beyond the architectural wonders, these heritage walks provide a gateway to Fort Kochi's local art, cuisine, and lifestyle—a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity. Join in exploring the captivating fusion that makes Fort Kochi a living testimony to its storied past and vibrant present.

In the domain of Ayurvedic consultations, an immersive exploration awaits, delving into the intricacies of one's physical, mental, and emotional well-being. This transformative process aims to unveil the unique energetic constitution, a harmonious fusion of the three Doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha), deciphering the body type and existing imbalances. Following this, skilled Ayurvedic physicians craft a tailored series of experiences, complemented by a personalized diet and activity plan meticulously designed for the individual body type. This all-encompassing approach strives not only for equilibrium but also for the revitalization of vitality and tranquility, creating a holistic sense of well-being.

At the heart of Ayurveda lies a philosophy that aligns one's lifestyle with the natural rhythms of existence. Throughout the consultation, the merits of the curated experiences, dietary recommendations, and exercise programs are thoughtfully evaluated. Ayurvedic physicians share invaluable insights and essential guidance on incorporating lifestyle and dietary adjustments into the daily routine, cultivating a harmonious balance that extends beyond the stay. The result? A sustained commitment to well-being, restoring a radiant state of health.

The Sacred Lotus takes Yoga back to its roots, grounding it in tradition and purity, inspired by the ancient discipline of Hatha Yoga. This comprehensive and disciplined science acts as a harmonizing force for the mind, body, and spirit. It goes beyond the physical, aiming to restore perfect health while elevating consciousness to the sublime state of eternal bliss, known as Sat-Chit—the ultimate goal of Yoga.

Meditation practices at The Sacred Lotus draw from ancient Indian traditions, uniquely tailored to address modern needs. These encompass guided meditation and relaxation techniques, offering individuals a space to unwind and rejuvenate the entire body-mind system. By fostering harmony at the physical, mental, and spiritual levels, meditation becomes a transformative journey towards deep tranquility and rejuvenation.

Centuries of wisdom from Sages and Rishis, passed down through the ‘Guru-Sishya Parmpara,’ gradually found its documented expression in the Vedas. The medical wisdom within these ancient texts, primarily in the Atharva Veda, gave rise to Ayurveda.

Considered the Upaveda (applied knowledge) of Atharva Veda, Ayurveda stands as the Science of Harmony—an intricate balance of mind, body, and spirit. In essence, Ayurveda posits that when this balance falters, disease creeps in. Therefore, the ultimate pursuit of Ayurvedic healing is to restore and maintain this delicate equilibrium.

5 Nights Karkidaka Chikilsa Program
  • Description

    Experience Ayurveda's refreshing impact during the sacred Karkidakam month, as per the Malayalam calendar. This period, from mid-July to mid-August, aligns with the heavy monsoon season, making it ideal for Ayurveda practices to refresh the body and boost energy. Karkidakam Chikitsa, acknowledged by Ayurveda and recorded in centuries-old scriptures, offers numerous advantages. Cherish this classic knowledge to experience the therapeutic value this special time provides. During the monsoon season, when people tend to be more vulnerable to illnesses, Ayurveda Karkidakam Chikitsa in Kerala supports health by focusing on addressing health issues and strengthening the immune system, leading to improved well-being.

    Seasonal changes impact the body’s tridoshas differently, with summer increasing toxins and monsoon exacerbating them, leading to various diseases. According to Ayurveda, rainy weather following hot summers increases acidity and intensifies kapha dosha, resulting in respiratory issues. Common ailments include digestive, respiratory, and arthritis problems, along with allergies and waterborne diseases. Additionally, the skin becomes more receptive to treatments during the monsoon. Karkidaka Chikitsa focuses on detoxification and boosting immunity, often through Panchakarma, external applications like Snehana and Svedhana, a tailored diet, massages, yoga, and meditation. The diet includes Karkidaka Kanji, a medicated porridge with herbs, grains, spices, and therapeutic elements for holistic detoxification of the body and mind.

    The Sacred Lotus's Karkidaka Chikitsa is curated and executed by an experienced and professional panel of doctors. This specialized treatment is designed to rejuvenate inner cells and illuminate the mind, resulting in an energetic body and enhanced productivity that lasts throughout the year. The Sacred Lotus follows a holistic approach to wellness, integrating Ayurvedic practices with Yoga, Physical Exercises, Pranayama, and a thoughtfully designed food regime. All Ayurvedic medicines, including the renowned Karkidaka Kanji, and other dietary items are prepared using nature’s elements, ensuring that every aspect of the Ayurvedic treatment is grounded in the purity and potency of nature, offering a truly healthy diet in every sense. The Sacred Lotus prioritizes the well-being of patients and those seeking Karkidaka Chikitsa, providing the best support with utmost care. With a rich history of effectively administering Karkidaka Chikitsa, The Sacred Lotus stands as one of the leading Ayurvedic centers for this specialized treatment in Kerala. Experience the authentic Karkidaka Chikitsa from The Sacred Lotus and rejuvenate your body, mind, and soul naturally!

One of the most beautiful and serene properties I have visited. This is a old colonial building which has been converted into a ayurveda retreat. The staff is very helpful and courteous. They offered free yoga session and a ayurveda consultation. The food is strictly vegetarian and in limited quantity . All the places to visit in fort kochin is walkable. I will be visiting again for a long term weight loss program

Nice spacious room, elegant communal areas. Great range of wellness treatments, I.e. massage/yoga. But what made my stay extra special was the staff. I arrived a guest and departed a friend, really I have stayed no-where as memorable ever. Special mention to Ananthu, who was the best host ever! And Dr Ann, Dr Manu and the amazing kitchen staff who served the most delicious food. And also, Maya the yoga teacher. I will definitely return without a doubt.
